Following today’s news that Odd Future were accused of beating up a 17-year-old fan during their December 8 concert in San Antonio, representatives for the group are claiming that the accuser, Chassan Rasagi, threw the first punch. Odd Future’s camp also sent over what they claim are screenshots from Rasagi’s Twitter account. In the tweets, he seemingly acknowledged throwing the first punch (via a retweet), bragged about the paycheck he would get from suing the group, wrote about his TMZ coverage, and plugged his clothing line.

Several members of the rap group Odd Future unleashed an unholy beatdown on a fan who dared to jump on stage during a show — a fight captured on video — and now, the fan is gearing up to sue. 17-year-old Chassan Rasagi filed a police report with the San Antonio PD, claiming they beat the ever-lovin’ hell out of him. Sources tell us … OF rapper Hodgy Beats pushed Rasagi back into the crowd …and he then became a human ping pong ball when the crowd pushed Rasagi back on stage. At that point, we’re told the group attacked Rasagi en masse. (TMZ)

Amy Harris claims she was slapped by rapper Left Brain, real name Vyron Turner, who knocked her camera out of her hands during the group’s performance at the Voodoo Experience on Sunday (30Oct11). Reports suggest Turner took aim at the snappers in the photo pit after Odd Future frontman Tyler, the Creator, voiced his dislike for photographers, insisting the fans should be allowed to stand closer to the stage. Turner is said to have showered the photographers with water, before pushing them and kicking their equipment and allegedly assaulting Harris. Harris has decided against taking legal action against the band, although she admits she felt unfairly targeted. (Chicago Tribune)
